Observation of the election to the House of Representatives of the National Assembly of the Republic of Belarus on 23th of September, 2012

104 ballots “lost” in Smarhon

23.09.2012

The
election record released by Smarhon-based constituency election commission No.
59 following the end of the early voting campaign says 241 persons voted by 23
September, with 1,305 ballots left. However, the commission received 1,650
ballot papers, i.e. there should have been 1,409 unused ballots.

Thus, the
observers argue that 104 ballot papers seem to have been lost. They fear the “lost”
ballots may reappear on the commission’s final results.
